My Soldier (z.s.)

Sixteen

Zayn nudged Harry. He wasn't gonna spend their first night back, staring at the wall, not cuddled up in his husbands arms.

Zayn: "babe, sit up, let's talk"

Harry groaned and flipped on the light near their bed before sitting up and resting his back against the headboard.

Zayn threw his leg over Harry's lap and straddled him again, knowing this was Harry's favorite position.

Zayn: "don't be mad at me"

Harry: "I feel like I did something wrong..."

Zayn: "you didn't babe, you're the absolutely light of my life. I just, I guess I'm not in the mood right now"

Harry: "let's go to bed then."

Harry wouldn't even meet his gaze, he knew he was upset but, he wasn't gonna let him go to sleep upset.

Zayn: "stop acting like that and look at me"

Harry's eyes shot back to meet Zayn's gaze.

Zayn: "you've been gone for five fucking months Harry, I'm not going to sleep in the middle of an argument over something so meaningless. I've missed you for so long, and this is not how we're gonna spend our first night back together."

Harry: "all the more reason for me to wonder why you won't let me make you feel good. It's been forever babe"

Zayn: "I know...I guess I'm just extremely tired right now from being up last night swaddling Delilah and waiting for you. I couldn't sleep I was so excited. But I was not excited to argue."

Harry: "maybe tomorrow?"

Zayn: "yes, once we get Delilah home and asleep we can have some fun. Just me and you."

Harry: "okay"

Zayn: "you can kiss me a little though, that would be nice"

Harry smiled and gripped Zayn's hips, pulling him in and pressing their lips together. They made out for a half hour before it was time to actually go to sleep.

Zayn slid off of Harry's lap, even though he protested and cuddled up next to him. It took them no time to fall asleep completely.

In the morning Zayn woke up feeling nauseous.

Zayn: "fucking morning sickness"

He quietly slid out of Harry's arms and made it to the bathroom in time to throw up into the toilet.

After a few more times of repeating the same situation, he stood up and washed his face and brushed his teeth.

He hoped to god Harry hadn't heard him hurling.

Zayn walked out of the bathroom and went to lay back down on the bed when he noticed Harry was awake.

Harry: "you okay?"

Zayn: "mhm why?"

Harry: "sounded like you were puking your brains out"

Zayn: "must've been something I ate yesterday, I'm feeling better though."

Harry: "good, come cuddle me"

Zayn smiled and curled up in a ball next to Harry.

Zayn: "6 years and your still a little cuddle bug huh?"

Harry: "cuddling is my favorite"

Zayn: "believe me, I know"

Harry kissed Zayn's cheek, forehead, and his lips before he stretched and got out of bed.

They both got dressed for their "uncles Christmas" and made their way to Delilahs room before noticing that she was still out cold.

Harry: "that's mah girl..."

Zayn: "tell me about it"

Harry tapped Zayn on the shoulder and scoffed before they both made their way downstairs.

A few minutes later, tiny footsteps made their way into the kitchen.

Harry: "hey my princess, how'd you sleep?"

He picked her up and let her rest her head on his shoulder, still quite sleepy.

Delilah: "good, I'm tired"

Harry: "so are we, did you have fun last night?"

Delilah: "mhm, I'm glad you're home daddy"

Harry: "me too baby, me too"

Delilah: "take me to baba"

Harry smiled and handed her off to Zayn, she wrapped her hands around his neck and cuddled up to him.

Zayn: "you gonna fall asleep on me?"

Delilah: "just like how you fall asleep on daddy"

Zayn: "so gosh darn observant aren't you?"

Harry laughed while he poured them both some coffee.

After multiple hours of hanging around the house and watching TV, it was time for them to welcome Liam, Niall, and Louis. With Avery of course.

Zayn was so nervous, he wanted Harry to be excited but, he had no clue how he...or Delilah would react.

Soon enough they all arrived with presents and food, super excited to spend the night together.

Delilah: "Uncle Li Li"

Liam: "hey beautiful"

Liam always spoiled Avery and Delilah when it came to presents.

Zayn: "better not have went over board"

Liam: "I don't think I'm the one you need to worry about"

Liam gestured toward Harry, he clearly knew what Harry had gotten Zayn.

Zayn and Harry always gave each other their gifts the night of Uncles Christmas because they wanted the actual Christmas Day to be all about Delilah.

After they ate and played a few games, they decided to open presents.

Delilah and Avery got spoiled with multiple new toys and a bunch of clothes from their uncles.

Niall: "okay you two, it's time"

Harry: "who's going first"

Zayn: "let them judge, cause they all know what we got each other"

Louis: "Harry needs to go first, cause he's not gonna be able to function after Zayn's"

Harry smiled and handed Zayn and small red box. He opened it and found a pair of keys. He instantly covered his mouth with his hand.

A brand new Tesla.

Zayn: "no way babe"

Harry: "wanna go see it?"

Zayn shook his head as they made their way out to the driveway. A bright red Tesla sat beautifully on the concrete.

Zayn wrapped his arms around Harry and let a tear slip before pressing their lips together.

Zayn: "you did not have to do that"

Harry: "it's what you deserve baby"

Zayn blushed and kissed his husband one more time before ordering him to take a seat on the couch with Delilah.

Zayn: "this is kind of...for both of you. I'm so nervous right now, cause I don't know how you're gonna react but before you open it I want you to know that you're the best dad and husband ever okay?"

Harry: "is it that serious?"

Liam: "Id say so"

Louis and Niall agreed with him, causing Zayn to worry even more.
